From April this year, companies operating in the UK will need to get their supply chains (which includes overseas outsourcing arrangements) in order to meet new reporting requirement in the UK. The new Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the MSA) represents the first European legislation aimed at 21st-century trafficking / forced labour and it requires businesses operating in the UK with a turnover of over £36 million to prepare and publish a “slavery and human trafficking statement” for each financial year.
